Creating a Buy Now ad is easy.

Click on the Sell tab on the homepage and follow the steps to start creating your ad.
Choose the category that best suits the item you’re selling.
If you’re not sure, look to see what categories other sellers have chosen for similar items.
Select Buy Now under How do you want to deal with buyers?

This automatically sets your ad as a Buy Now ad. If Buy Now does not appear on the screen, the item category you selected does not allow you to sell using Buy Now (e.g. cars, pets).
Type in the sale price of your item.
This price will be included in your ad and is the price at which the buyer will purchase.
Specify the duration of your ad – 1, 3, 5, 7 or 14 days. The longer your ad runs, the more time buyers have to find your ad.
Follow the remaining steps to complete your ad, including your preferred payment and delivery methods and selecting an ad package.
Note: All items (except live animals) priced under $500 are free to list. Fair Use Policy applies.
You will be notified by email and Ad Tools® when a buyer agrees to buy your item.

There are guidelines for Buy Now ads regarding contact details and pricing.

The pricing fields are used to display item prices. You should not type additional prices or prices for extra items in the item description.
